I'm starting this on Saturday the 6th, but I doubt I'll finish it today. Love.
Inuyasha groaned, stretching his back out, glaring daggers through the futon. Once they had ate dinner with Sesshoumaru and Rin, (Sesshoumaru had forced Jaken into his quarters, and Inuyasha grimaced at the thought of what Sesshoumaru said would happen to him when Sesshoumaru retired) Kagome had come straight back to the room and locked herself in their room, not even allowing Inuyasha to come in and get a blanket. But that didn't matter, he was hanyou, and hanyou's didn't need blankets. Still, Inuyasha would have done a lot to have been lying in bed beside Kagome, holding her in his arms. He wouldn't be able to do that for a long while when they returned because of the damned monk. A low growl escaladed from Inuyasha's throat at the thought of what would happen when the monk found the mark, for he knew there was no keeping it from him. If that damned monk does anything to make Kagome uncomfortable about this, I swear, he'll never forg-- A small hand tapped Inuyasha's shoulder, causing him to stir from his deep thought. Kagome's scent filled his nostrils, as he leaned his head over to nuzzle her hand on shoulder. She giggled.
"I wanted to stay mad at you, but I didn't sleep. All. Night." Kagome said, yawning deeply as Inuyasha looked up at her. She had small black bags beneath her eyes, and her hair was frizzed and slightly poofy from within the low pony tail that she had tied it up in, and her bangs were everywhere. Inuyasha couldn't help but laugh at the girl as she dozed off, then jerked awake, looking around, then remembering where she was. "Sleep with me?" She asked him most innocently, staring down at him, yawning again. Inuyasha smiled and nodded, standing up and sweeping her off her feet, carrying her bridal style over to their bed, sitting her down on the soft mattress before stepping over her and laying down. Though Kagome immediately fell asleep as Inuyasha's arms snaked around her, holding her tightly to himself, Inuyasha stayed awake, thinking. Was Kagome as afraid of all of this as he was? Probably not, she didn't know how horribly she'd be treated. Inuyasha sighed and shook his head, staring down at Kagome.
"Sango. May I have a word?" Miroku asked, standing up, already being seated by the door. Sango nodded shyly, looking at Kaede, hoping she would have something for her to do, but obviously Kaede wanted the two to have a moment alone. Sango sighed, following Miroku, as he slowly led her through the forest, stopping at the Sacred Tree that Inuyasha had been pinned to so many years. Sitting slowly at the bottom of the tree, he patted the ground beside him, wanting Sango near him, if that were to be all.
"I...Miroku, what is this about?" Sango asked, wanting a few answers before Miroku did the obvious. Miroku chuckled.
"Sango, what are you talking about?" Asked the monk in an innocent tone, and Sango glared.
"That. The innocence. Not touching me. Being sweet and kind. Being all proper and what not. It's...not like you." Sango said, staring into his violet eyes again, melting inside. Miroku's eyes squinted as he examined her entire figure, then widened as he smiled.
"I have no idea what you're talking about, Sango. I havn't been trying to do anything different, nor have I to the best of my knowledge." Miroku laughed out, and Sango growled, having had enough. "Fine, Sango. If you must rush it. I wanted to bring you out here to be alone with you. Seriously, all I wanted was to enjoy your company. I've never felt like this around any other woman, Sango." Miroku said, lowering his tone a few notches at the last sentence. Sango smiled a brilliant smile, resisting the urge to throw her arms around Miroku's neck right then and kiss him. She was going to juice this a bit more.
"Feel like what, Miroku?" She asked, cautiously, as if she were tip-toeing to get out of the room of a child that had just fallen asleep. Miroku laughed loudly, and grabbed Sango's hand, pulling it towards himself. Sango looked at she and Miroku's intertwined fingers, but looked up as she felt Miroku's fingers meet her chin, then cupping the side of her face. Before she new what was happening, Miroku's lips were firmly pressed against hers, his tongue licking at her lips. Sango's lips twisted into a soft grin as she opened them, allowing Miroku to have his fun as his free arm wrapped around her upper back, hugging her flush against his chest. Sango slid her arms up around his neck, holding onto him tightly, kissing him back with as much passion as she could muster up. She had been waiting for this kiss from the minute that she and Miroku's lips had parted the first time. As Miroku slowly retreated, breathing calmly and smoothly, he smiled, and hugged her.
"Like that, Sango." He whispered into her ear, content.
Sango, on the other hand, was under cardiac arrest. She wanted another kiss, but dared not show her eagerness, that would land her pregnant and in deep shit when it came time for battle. She simply rested her head against Miroku's shoulder, pondering if she was supposed to pour her heart out to Miroku right now, or to wait. Hell with it. Sango said silently, looking up at the monk, whose eyes were closed, his lips curled into a small grin. Kissing the corner of his mouth, trying to 'wake' him, she got inches from his face, staring at him still. As his eyes met hers, Sango's throat tightened up.
"Miroku...I...I..." Sango sighed, looking away. "I love you." She said, not looking at Miroku. She knew he cared for her, but wasn't sure if he cared for her that extremely much. Miroku in reply kissed Sango's cheek, also trying to bring her back to him. As Sango's eyes slowly slithered over to him, he smiled, pressing his forehead against hers.
"I love you too." He said in a deep, husky tone, kissing her gently on the lips, but then recoiling to stare at her, then embrace her tightly. Sango could have died, but the monk had to keep talking. "What are we...going to do?" He asked quietly, as Sango shrugged.
"I'm not ready for children, and we can't do anything before Naraku is slain..." Sango said, wrapping up everything she had to say, as Miroku laughed, hugging her tightly.
"That's not what I was talking about, and I wouldn't dare think to do that before we were married, let alone before I was rid of the air void. I was talking about Inuyasha and Kagome. Are we going to let them know?" He asked, as Sango nodded immediately.
"I at least have to tell Kagome. She would...want to know. She's been trying to get us together for so long." Sango whispered, as Miroku cupped the side of her face again, simply staring at her.
"I should have done this so long ago." Miroku whispered, kissing her once again. Sango wanted to giggle, but couldn't bring herself to as she melted against Miroku, who was now looking at her, having pulled away from the kiss. "So long ago." He said once again, and kissed her forehead before pulling her into a long embrace.
A mature and slightly aged Shippo stretched out in the chair, looking at his adoptive father, hoping that soon that all would change, and Inuyasha would be his 'father'. Sesshoumaru stared at Shippo in response, and Rin giggled, running into the room and hugged Shippo excitedly.
"Guess who called today!" She squealed, as Shippo's face twisted slightly in thought, then he looked at her.
"My…girlfriend?" He asked, hesitantly, groaning. I need to break up with her, but I just can't let myself do it…maybe Kagome can help when she gets back.
"No, silly, of course not! How dare you think I'd be excited about that retched girl; KIRARA CALLED!" Rin squealed again, as Shippo felt a slight blush crawl over his face. He hadn't seen Kirara in too long… "And you know who she called for?" Rin continued, finally releasing Shippo at Sesshoumaru's growl. Shippo simply blinked. Could Kirara actually have…
"Uuh…me?" Shippo asked, completely unaware of what was going on. Rin's excited squeal told him that he had guessed right. Sesshoumaru grumbled and said something about fire-cat-fox pups, which made Rin laugh.
"I told her you'd meet her at that new café down the street in thirty minutes." Rin exclaimed, as Shippo slightly freaked out. Darting out of the room, Sesshoumaru chuckled, and Rin burst into laughter. "Young love." She stated contently, walking over to Sesshoumaru and kissing him softly. Sesshoumaru smiled, pulling Rin into the chair next to him, wrapping one arm around her, and continuing his work with the other as Rin snuggled up against his side.
"I think it's time for another pup, darling." Sesshoumaru stated bluntly, as Rin giggled and kissed his cheek, shaking her head.
"Not yet, darling. I want to make sure we have at least one pup that is younger than Inuyasha and Kagome's first." Rin snickered, closing her eyes and all but falling asleep, taking up very little room in the large computer chair.
Kagome's eyes slowly opened, as she smiled and looked up at Inuyasha. What time is it? Inuyasha's hand slowly rose to her forehead as he brushed her bangs away from her eyes.
"Gonna wake up, wench?" He asked, snickering, then scratched her forehead softly with his claw. Kagome smiled and nodded. "Rin came by seven or eight times, and the bastard even came. Wanted to apologize for Jaken, whose health I fear for at the moment. Then he was happy to see that you were resting and gave me shit about a lot of…stuff, and…yeah." Inuyasha said, now blushing. He gave me shit about producing a fucking heir. Inuyasha quietly finished, smiling at Kagome, who now had her eyes closed again.
"When are we going home? I need to talk to Rin." Kagome said quietly, looking up at Inuyasha with puppy eyes. Inuyasha smiled and kissed her deeply before giving her the answer she wanted.
"We can leave after the evening meal, and you can sleep on my back the entire way home." He said quietly to her, sighing. He wouldn't be able to hold her at night anymore unless they slept separately from the monk and slayer, who would certainly notice if they disappeared every night. Damn it.
"Well, what are we waiting for!" Kagome squealed, before standing up and rushing to pack her things. Inuyasha rolled his eyes. It was going to be a long night, but free access of Kagome's thighs was not one of the downsides.
After a nice meal, a long, long goodbye, and a few hours of traveling, Kagome had fallen asleep. Inuyasha smiled, trudging on with literal leaps and bounds, holding his mate's legs tightly. That was when he heard it.
"Dog shit!" Koga had yelled from below him, and Inuyasha grumbled, glaring at the wolf's small outline, which was steadily growing as he neared the ground.
"Shut it." Inuyasha said, smiling at his opportunity. "My mate is asleep, and we've had a long stay." He bit out, as Koga's face paled and he snarled.
"Fucking liar." Koga screamed, as Kagome slowly stirred, yawning before she realized her new surroundings. "Kagome, tell me that dog terd is lying to me!" Koga screamed, as Kagome blinked and looked at Koga, her hand quickly flying to her mark.
"Uuh…" She bit her lip, whining at Koga's expression. Inuyasha slid Kagome down his back, pulling her into his arms, smiling victoriously. Kagome giggled until she saw Koga rushing at them both, his katana drawn. Inuyasha drew his Tetsuiaga, growling already, as it transformed. Blocking Koga's attack easily, Kagome screamed at Koga.
"Quit this right now!" She screamed, as Koga laughed loudly, stabbing blindly at Inuyasha.
"I cannot, you're my woman, and Inuyasha stole you from me! Kagome, do you see what he's done? HE'S TURNED YOU TO FILTH LIKE HIMSELF!" Koga screamed, finally getting a good stab in Inuyasha's right arm, as Inuyasha's arms turned red for a second.
"You. Will. Never. EVER CALL MY MATE FILTH AGAIN!" Inuyasha screamed, now throwing out wind scars after Koga's every move. Kagome screamed, not knowing what else to do. She had nothing to disarm Koga, and if she sat Inuyasha, he would most definantly die…this was bad.
Shippo stepped out of the small black sports car, looking around for his fire cat demon 'friend', and sighing, walking up to the small framed girl with bleached blonde hair.
"Hi, is it just you today, sir?" Her bubbly voice already annoyed Shippo, who shook his head.
"Nah, my friend is supposed to be meeting me here, but I don't see her yet…" He said, as the young girl sighed, pulling out two menus and leading him to a small table in front of the window to the large building, which the inside half of the café was the first floor of.
"Can I get you something to drink while you wait for your friend?" The girl asked, apparently jealous. Shippo sighed and nodded once again as she placed the menu in front of him.
"Yeah, get me a Sprite." He said quietly, looking up and down the street for Kirara.
"Yes sir, right away." She said and rushed inside, as Shippo slouched in his chair. How annoying, hitting on the customers… Shippo thought, letting his eyes unfocus, as he decided that he was outside and in plain view, and Kirara would be able to smell him anyway. Well, that had been a mistake. From out of no where, two small arms wrapped around Shippo's neck, and he heard his name squealed.
"Shippo! Oh my God, it's been to long!" A girl, maybe 5'6, with fiery red hair and a very small waist squealed as she hugged her friend. Shippo snickered, hugging Kirara back, holding onto her as long as he could. Kirara relaxed against him, mumbling something, but Shippo heard none of it.
"Yes, Kirara, it has been too long. Look at you, your humanoid form seems to be catching up to mine in age." He said, flicking her hair away from her face to reveal her oddly colored, grey-green-blue eyes. Oh, how he loved those eyes. Letting go of the girl, he smiled at her, pointing at her chair. "Warning you in advance, the damn waitress is hitting on me, so if you would be as kind to play the girlfriend role.." Shippo started, but Kirara's laughter rang out across the small outside portion of the café.
"Fine, fine, baby, I'd be glad to." She said cheesily, giggling at Shippo, who had grown much better looking since the last time she had seen him. How can I be attracted to Shippo? Ugh…this will prove very interesting…
The small waitress returned with Shippo's drink, and she smiled, but then glared at Kirara.
"Can I get you anything, Miss?" She asked in a slightly snappy tone, as Kirara giggled and looked into Shippo's eyes before looking over at the girl.
"Yes, I'll take an iced tea, please." Kirara said, flashing a beautiful white smile, as the waitress's glare seemed to have pierced through Kirara, or at least should have.
"Yes, I'll be right back with that." She said, as Kirara giggled and stared longingly back at Shippo. Both burst into laughter as the waitress went inside.
"You're getting better at zis, dahling." Shippo said in a purposely gay tone, as Kirara burst into more laughter.
"Oh, my God, Shippo Ibtonshi, you are NOT going to be gay." Kirara said in a very stern voice, as Shippo chuckled.
"And what would you do if I revealed to you that I was?" Shippo asked, now blushing slightly. Kirara winked.
"I would make you un-gay." She said, smiling seductively, rubbing his jean-covered calf muscle with her toes, finally giggling again. Shippo smirked.
"Oke doke, I'm gay." Shippo quickly stated, as Kirara smirked. Slowly leading her sandal covered foot up Shippo's leg, she kick him relatively softly in the groin, as Shippo groaned and doubled over in his chair. Kirara once again burst into laughter.
"Still gay, baby?" She asked, smirking at the now whimpering Shippo.
"No, of course not darling." Shippo squeaked just as the waitress walked up, and quickly forced himself to straighten up, trying to hide his evident look of pain. The girl placed Kirara's drink on the table, taking Shippo and Kirara's orders, and by the time she left, Shippo was pain free.
"I'd not drink that if I were you." Shippo said, motioning to the drink. Kirara looked down into it and nodded.
"Yeah, I smelled her human spit in it to. Ugh…can't even have a friendly lunch with my friend anymore." She said, leaning over the table and poking Shippo's nose. "I suppose you're getting a bit too good looking." She said, giggling again.
"Eh, I have a girlfriend…and an annoying one to boot. But she's one of Kagome's friends, so I guess it doesn't really matter…but all I ever hear is 'Kagome this, Kagome that, Inuyasha's such a bastard, Kagome can do better, yadda yadda…'" Shippo rolled his eyes. Kirara's spirits sank slightly, but she smiled at him.
"Well, have you 'met' Kagome yet?" Kirara asked casually, chuckling at how innocent the conversation was to outsiders, but how incredibly complex it was to the two that actually understood it.
"Oh yes. Inuyasha was with her as well. If our entire plan ends up working, I'm going to sock Inuyasha in the face, I swear." Shippo smiled, but then realized that Kirara hadn't been informed of the 'plan'. "Oh, we're going to stop it from ever happening. Or at least, we're going to try." He said in a low tone, as Kirara's eyes widened.
"How? How can you change the past? Shippo, this is big! You guys shouldn't be doing this. It wasn't right that they died, but still…" Kirara whispered, and Shippo nodded but then placed one of his hands over hers, which quickly silenced the girl.
"Sesshoumaru, Rin, Koga, Ayame, and I all discussed this deeply. We all decided that we'd try. Rin is so sure that she and Sesshoumaru are going to raise at least one pup along side Kagome and Inuyasha that it's just not right…" Shippo shuddered. The thought of another one of Sesshoumaru's pups running around the house was bad enough, but adding one of Kagome and Inuyasha's on top of that was just cruel. Shippo could already feel his ears aching.
"I need to talk to Sesshoumaru about this." Kirara said, getting a devilish gleam in her eyes. Shippo winced and nodded, leaving the exact cost of the food that they had ordered's worth of money on the table, leading Kirara to his car. As the two slowly climbed into the car and buckled their seatbelts, Kirara stared ahead of them, through the windshield as Shippo checked the mirrors.
"So…what have you been up to lately? Any new boys?" Shippo asked, as a hint of possessiveness shone through his tone. Kirara giggled.
"You're breaking up with this girlfriend soon, right?" She asked, not daring turn her face to Shippo. A blush crawled across both of their faces, as Shippo smiled contently.
"Does Kirara have a crush?" He asked, quite frankly trying to piss Kirara off. She growled loudly.
"Answer the damn question, Shippo. That should answer your question, too." Kirara bit out, and Shippo laughed, still not taking his eyes off the road.
"Yes, Kirara. I'm breaking up with her. Soon." Shippo said contently, grabbing Kirara's hand and squeezing it. Kirara loosened up and entwined her fingers with Shippo's, feeling content. Maybe she wouldn't explode on Sesshoumaru quite as bad, but she was still going to be pissed. And she could get away with yelling at Sesshoumaru, because even though her humanoid form didn't show it, she was a few hundred years older than the Inu no Tashio. And she rubbed that in his face. A lot.
Yippee! This was a quick update. SOS. I'm black. Yup.

Before I am ambushed with reviews saying "Kirara can't be human! She doesn't have a human form! Blah blah!", Read the following.
Sesshoumaru has both a dog and a humanoid form. If he wanted to, he could stay in his dog form all the time. Kirara, in the past, did not know how to transform into her humanoid form. However, when Shippo learned to transform into his fox form, he and Kirara could 'talk', and eventually, Shippo taught Kirara to transform into her humanoid form.
I'm HYPER! –giggles- Review replies time. –muah!-
PLEASE READ THE REVIEW REPLY TO InuYashaTetsusaiga140, FOR IT CONTAINS IMPORTANT INFORMATION THAT I DO NOT WANT TO REPEAT. THANK YOU.
Ally Inu: Heh...but you gotta love Jaken, just because he's little and green.
InuYashaTetsusaiga140: Yes, yes, teasing is fun. And, I've stated that there won't be a lemon until later chapters, and I plan to keep that statement true. -wink, wink- Refer to what I said to Ally Inu, and you'll understand my feelings about our lovely toad friend. Awww...nobody loff's me in ways that aren't weird! -cries- And on the 'kids in the story' thing, I've thought about this topic, and I think I have a way to have them have kids, and still have a fair sequel, but you'll have to bear with me; the end won't make any sense at all until the sequel is read. It's a really...wierd idea, and it'll take some time to complete. So...yeah. Look! Your review reply is being read by all! w00t for you!
strange: Yippee! I'm not the only one with problems. Let me offer you a complementary pint of Ben and Jerry's ice-cream. Might I recommend Cherry Garcia? -Blink-
Voakands: Yes, I've realized that problem too. I'm probably going to go through and minorly re-write to make things more realistic and play out better before I start on the sequel, if there even is a sequel, so you all can have something to chew on while I get it started. Thanks for the compliments! -big grin-
Foreverluv: Heh, I knew people would do that. But I had to do it, it fits the chapter so well. And thanks...X.X That was a very icky lime to write. I hope it sounded all right, I was cracking up the entire time I was writing it, then I was just like "uuuuh...o.o" when I was proofing the chapter. I tried not to make this one too terribly short.
Ryoko Ao Midori: Whaaat are you talking about? -blink- Please use spell check, and if that's not in the review window (I don't think it is, but I'm not sure), then copy it into your email and spell check it there...and review with stuff that I'll understand. I tried to do that politely, but sorry if I came off snappy. X.X I'm a big grammar stickler.
Kairi of Camen: Heh, I can understand you there. Thanks very much for the review!
Liquidmoon: Hehehehe...-flutters eyelashes innocently, twirls hair- Me? A Tease? NEVER! -blink, blink- Why thank you! And yes, I tried to make everything (even in the future) a bit more realistic, but I've got a kicker that I'll probably have to explain to a butt load of people in an FAQ, I'll probably just do it in one review and have everybody read it. Mushy heart. And I'll update as soon as the chapter meets my length expectations...o.o;
To Anyone I Seem To Have Forgotten: I review reply to all of those whom I see fit. I very much so appreciate all of your reviews, but if all that you say is "good story" or "update soon", don't expect a reply. I appreciate these compliments very much, but I find it kind of annoying. Thanks again!
Anniechanalc: You make me giggle. Even though your review made no sense at all, it made me giggle. ... I'm still giggling. And on the lemon thing: I'm not gonna do a lemon until later on in the story, that's what my icky icky lime was for. -shudder- And that's nice that it rocks your sox, but if it really rocked...IT'D ROCK YOUR FACE OFF! -blink- And that isn't Shippo's reincarnation, that's the actual Shippo. As is it the actual Rin, and the actual Sesshoumaru. They're demon (see latest chapter for Rin's explanation) so they lived longer. And yes, you've got the rapist right, but no, he didn't mark her. And I'd appreciate it if you didn't say anything about the rapist any more, so that those who don't have it yet can be surprised. And to your reply on chapter 13: O.O'''
myralee: Why so sad? Is it because of my icky lime? (Sorry, I hated that thing. -dies-) Hehe, I was actually thinking about that last night. But if you note that somewhere along the way, I did say that appearance would stay the same. And, because Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru's father was full demon, Izayoi would not need to be as strong as Kagome would because their father would not be vulnerable one night a month. So...yeah. That's a slight explanation on that, and I'll try and get back to you with more later on when I have more time to think on it. Yay! I'm so excited everyone likes this story, I have a self esteem problem(please allow me to go and hide in the closet in case any of my friends read this), and I really didn't think that this story was going to amount to much, and I do realize that my writing has changed since the beginning, so once I'm done, as I've said before, I'm gonna go back in and re-write, making the rape more of an object, as you also mentioned. Thanks, and I'm gonna start writing soon again tonight! Wow, that was a long reply. -falls over-
